This is what I was hoping for all along.  A simple, fast and integrated
template system for presentation.  But I also hope that Andrei (who has no
doubt worked hard on this) could see some way to extend the functionality of
this core template system for the use of those who would have templates with
basic logic embedded within.  In some ways Rasmus' proposal gives me much
hope, and maybe in the future this is the way things will go.

In fact, with the method Rasmus proposes, I imagine it would be possible to
include a basic template definition file as the defactor "core" for PHP3,
and then Andrei and any number of other programmers with need for more
complex templates could work with the templating engine using new definition
schemes.

Until then, I just thank those who have made PHPLIB templates and
FastTemplates available to us poor scripters who know not any other way :)
(which, as I said before, is very useable in ways that only each programmer
can himself determine)
